January – Month in Review

It’s the end of the month, which means it’s time for a monthly wrap up post of some sort! I think I mentioned at some point that I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue with the What’s Up Wednesday link up, because I felt like it was getting repetitive. I have been searching for an alternate way to wrap up my months on my blog, but so far I haven’t come up with anything! I keep trying to search for monthly wrap up type posts and keep coming up with reading wrap ups – I guess Google knows that I have been writing more about reading, but I’m not ready to wrap up this month’s reading yet! If anyone has any ideas, let me know. For now, I’ll just wrap up my month in a variety of areas!

10 New-To-Me Authors I Read in 2020 – And Would Absolutely Read Again

Today for the first time I’m joining in for Top Ten Tuesday, a link up from That Artsy Reader Girl that provides a weekly topic for a list having something to do with books and reading. This week’s theme is New-to-Me Authors I Read in 2020. I am sure I read a lot of new-to-me authors in 2020, but there are some that I fell in love with, made sure to grab more of their books, or would absolutely read again in the future.

What I Read in January 2021 Part 1

Let’s get this out of the way first – I read a lot. I finally decided to split my monthly book review post into two (or more) posts and this is the first of the books I’ve read in January 2021. The second will appear in about two weeks. These are books I read in the first half of the month. The Amazon links to the books I’ve read are affiliate links and if you use them and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission. If you’ve read any of these books or are interested in them, I’d love to hear about it in the comments! I also included two new reviews in my Antiracist Reading List post earlier this week – How To Be An Antiracist and You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey.
